Get your Pittsburgh team in place and then start to grow your portfolio one at a time and at a controlled pace. its easy to buy. its not easy to buy right and know your limitations.

If you are saving at the average pace, you will have about $200,000 at retirement and can draw down $8,000 a year at 4% or about $667 a month.

maybe you were offended by me saying we take advantage of people. we all have our financial agenda, and we make profit off of people renting. if you weren't looking at for yourself, you'd be renting it for break even, not for profit.

That $4k goes towards my holding cost for the 2 months of repairs so I am able to get into the house with minimal out of my pocket at a much quicker pace than going conventional and/or paying higher fees and interest to a HMLWould love to hear some feedback on if this is a good strategy or not.

Knowing the target market helps evaluate the value and determine the pace of the sales.5) You have pro-forma returns, what historical information are they based from?

The historic board is tough especially when they only meet once a month, thats if you can get on the agenda for that meeting.

I'm learning to have patience and to pace myself.

We are growing at such a rapid pace I have noticed our systems aren’t adapting.For example, with all of the units, there are a substantial amount of repairs and maintenance going on.

Even if you do not make much money, you will learn the fast pace way to make deals. 

You shouldn't have any trouble closing 1 or 2 deals a month if you keep that pace up.
